Abstract
Semiconductor structures and methods for forming the same are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate and a fin protruding from the substrate in a first direction. In addition, the fin includes a well region and an anti-punch through region over the well region. The semiconductor structure further includes a barrier layer formed over the anti-punch through region and channel layers formed over the fin and spaced apart from the barrier layer in the first direction. The semiconductor structure further includes a first liner layer formed around the fin and an isolation structure formed over the first liner layer. The semiconductor structure further includes a gate wrapping around the channel layers and extending in a second direction. In addition, a top surface of the barrier layer is higher than a top surface of the first liner layer in a cross-sectional view along the second direction.
